Question 153619: What is the focus of the parabola with the equation (x - 1)2 + 32= 8y?
Answer by orca(409) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The standard form of a parabola with its axis parallel to y-axis is:

Its vertex is (h, k)
Its focus is (h, k+p).
*****************************************
SOLUTION:
First convert the equation into the standard form.

So
h = 1
k = 4
p = 2
Thus its focus is (h, k+p)=(1, 6).
